Icelandic police killings increase by ∞%!

The Icelandic police force shot dead a man that was discharging a shotgun in his own home. Nothing unusual, you may think. But you'd be wrong. This is the first ever time that Iceland's police have killed anyone, ever! :tea:

Given the relative populations, this is equivalent to police killing 1000 civilians in the U.S.

Well apparently they managed 587 in 2012 alone, and the Iceland killing is the first ever. Even if you only take the average of the last decade the stats don't come out well for the U.S.

"...the man, who has not been named,"

I see this sort of phrase in a high percentage of stories about crime. I think there's a connection. If everyone would just remember to name ALL of their children, we could put a stop to a lot of this nonsense.

I suppose it must affect their self-esteem quite badly, knowing that their parents just couldn't be bothered to choose a name.... not even "Junior".
